Chapter One-Hundred-and-Thirty-Five: Graduation (Final Chapter)

Image
4 years. 148 undergraduate hours.  135 chapters. When I first started my blog way back on May 4, 2014 , I made a promise to myself to stick with it. It started out as the "Misadventures of Life" because that's what my blog was full of; the "misadventures" of being an 18-year-old so ready to explore the depths of young, independent adulthood. There was a desire to share with friends who were on the brink to experience post-high-school life what it was truly like. That's why the first few years of my blog were focused on what to pack  for college, how the first week of school was like for me, and even changing majors !  My First Dorm! My First Roommates! As the years came and went, and the chapters were added on, this space became a personal, yet public, place for me to share the moments in college that I treasured and acknowledged as growth.

Chapter One-Hundred-and-Thirty-Four: When It's Not My Plan

Image
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  Jeremiah 29:11 They say there are two main types of people in the world: Type A's and Type B's.

I possess many traits of both Type A and Type B (which is actually pretty normal), but one thing that I do identify with is the necessity to have a plan . For anyone who knows me, I CAN operate without a plan, but my stress levels are pretty insane. I am much more comfortable with color-coded, highlighted, and precise itineraries.

Chapter One-Hundred-and-Thirty-Three: Can't Stand Still

Image
Last blog post, I mentioned that I had many more adventures planned... well they happened, so here are the SparkNotes of Sarah's life for the last two months!  Almost immediately after my last blog post, a good friend and I drove down to Houston, TX. This was an interesting drive because we started our road trip right after school on Friday, which means we didn't arrive at our destination until about 2 am!! Talk about TIRED! But we made it. The whole reason for us being there was to attend a fun music festival in the heart of downtown Houston. It was Lorie, Lorie's sister, her husband, and little ol' me (er, little young me, since everyone was much older than me!).  Yay! The music festival was called IN BLOOM . The line-up was full of names I did and didn't recognize (mostly the latter), but that is what makes music festivals so much fun! I personally love discovering new artists and bands by first hearing them live - it's a great way to form tang
